Description
Electrical Takeoff Software is a web-based service designed for electrical contractors and estimators to facilitate the takeoff and estimation process from electrical drawings. Users can upload either vector files or scanned PDFs of their plan sets, which encompass power, lighting, systems layouts, one-line diagrams, schedules, and notes. The platform efficiently identifies and highlights electrical devices on each sheet, tracks branch circuits and homerun paths, and calculates wire and conduit lengths. It then transforms these counts and measurements into material and labor estimates, categorized by CSI sections, while utilizing customer-specific rates and job-cost configurations. Furthermore, counts are validated against available panel and fixture schedules for accuracy. The software streamlines the workflow by flagging any ambiguities in the drawings and addressing open scope questions that might affect the bids, ultimately providing a comprehensive bid recap, along with exports for counts and lengths, RFI letters, and an evidence sheet for documentation. Users can conveniently review their results directly in the browser and export the data in various formats, such as XLSX, CSV, or PDF, to integrate seamlessly with their existing estimating processes. This ensures that estimators have all the necessary tools to create accurate and competitive bids.
